#GlobalVariable - Closed
I solved like below code.
Inserted Code
//--------------------------------------------
_lotGV = _prefix + _Symbol + " _lotGV";
if ( GlobalVariableCheck( _lotGV ) == true )
{
    _lotSize = GlobalVariableGet( _lotGV );
}   //---if Close
else
{
    GlobalVariableSet( _lotGV, _lotSize );
}

The syntax is fine ... but you might have problem at least with the Digits == 2 ... as on a 4-Digits broker, all JPY pairs are 2 digits. With that code, you will be adding a 0 to the pip.

No. I was just saying in my example that the JPY pairs will follow this if(... Digit == 2 ...) _pip = 10 * Point;

That's wrong if the broker is 4-Digits.

I need to use some fonts with bold, but I can't.
e.g:
Inserted Code
string fontname = "orbitron bold"

You can use:
string fontname = "Arial Black"
best luck

Thanks for the reply, yeah I know it but some fonts have 'Medium, Bold, ExtraBold' but I can't use it in my EA's.
I am still waiting good comment.

If the font you are using is in the Fonts folder, there should be no problem.

Be sure to write the font name correctly (ie. case sensitive, etc ...).

When you look at your text object properties on your chart (Ctrl+B > edit an object), can you find the font in the "Font" drop down menu ?
